Chapter 14: The Bigger the Business, the Better

Wu Kai stared at the bowl of wine that was full of extremely clear liquor, his face was very ugly, since Gao Yuan poured the bowl of wine in front of him, he has been working hard for a moment.

"Old Lu, what does this mean?" He finally raised his head.

Lu Hong waved his hand, "I don't mean anything, this brewing recipe was tinkered with by my nephew."

"Could it be Lao Lu, you are also planning to do the wine business?" Wu Kai's face was ugly and tight, Lu Hong was not a big man, but there was a prefect standing behind him, that was a giant.

"If I really wanted to do the wine business, I wouldn't have brought you Old Wu!" Lu Hong laughed. Wu Kai is a local snake in Fufeng County. In comparison, he is also good, as well as the postmaster Huo Huo. Whether it is cast or not, they can only be regarded as outsiders. Lu Hong has not seen Wu Kai so shriveled. , What's more, over the years, it has been a pleasure to cooperate with the magistrate of Wu!"

Hearing Lu Hong's words, Wu Kai immediately let out a long sigh, and his tightly frowned brows stretched out. His originally stern face instantly opened like a flower, and Gao Yuan, who was watching on the side, felt a chill on his body. , A person's complexion actually changed so quickly, today is an eye-opener.

"I knew Lao Lu was a man of rules." Wu Kai laughed loudly, "Unlike Huo Zhu, he looks ugly. This number is five thousand, and I want a recipe."

Originally, Lu Hong planned to be very satisfied with a thousand pieces. He never imagined that Wu Kai opened his mouth to be five thousand pieces, and his mind suddenly became active. It seems that this business is really promising. Maybe it is as Gao Yuan said. It's more cost-effective if the water runs smoothly.

"Old Wu, I said it first, this recipe was invented by my nephew, he is in charge of his affairs, and I will not interfere." Lu Hong shook his head and finished speaking, and turned his head to take it up on his own. He took another bowl of wine, hid to the side and tasted it carefully, shaking his head for a while, leisurely.

Wu Kai immediately turned his face to Gaoyuan, "Five thousand guans!" He emphasized that Gaoyuan was not a big family. Although he had hundreds of acres of land, he would only be able to make a hundred guans in a year. He, if it wasn't for Lu Hong standing behind him, Wu Kai wouldn't have bid this price, even though he knew that the value of this recipe was far more than that.

Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Wu Kai's face sank immediately.

"Young man, don't be too greedy. Even if I don't give you a penny, you can't do this business, can you? Old Road, you said that you won't make money, right?"

Gao Yuan laughed softly.

"Wu County magistrate, in Fufeng County, I really can't do this business, but what about other counties, the county? I believe that as long as I slip these samples out, the people who come to me to buy the goods will line up. , do you believe it or not?"

Wu Kai's face suddenly turned dark and gloomy, "Young man, too greedy, you won't live long."

With a thud, Lu Hong on the side slammed the wine bowl on the table, "Old Wu, I don't dare to say anything else, my nephew will definitely live a hundred years, don't you think?"

As soon as Lu Hong spoke, Wu Kai suddenly became discouraged, yes, this young man in front of him is not someone he can handle at will. He gritted his teeth, "Okay, young man, you ask a price, I will buy this recipe!"

Gao Yuan smiled and stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand?" Wu Kai was taken aback, "Are you crazy?"

"It's not 20,000 coins, it's 20% of the shares!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

As soon as the words came out, let alone Wu Kai, even Lu Hong was stunned. Lu Hong stood up involuntarily. Gao Yuan's appetite was too great. If Wu Kai really agreed, Lu Hong was worried that Gao Yuan would break his stomach. .

Wu Kai sneered and stood up from his chair, "Young man, that means we don't have to talk about it?" He didn't even look at Gao Yuan, he turned to look at Lu Hong, "Old Lu, it's not that I don't give face, but It's your nephew who is too much." After saying this, he was about to leave.

"Gao Yuan!" Lu Hongyou knotted anxiously.

Gao Yuan gave him a wink, looked at Wu Kai who was about to walk to the door, and said softly, "Master Wu, the two percent of the shares are only 10 percent for me and Uncle Lu."

Wu Kai's footsteps paused, and he turned around slowly, "What do you mean? Since you and Lao Lu have two talents, who are you going to give the other 10%?"

"Master Wu, standing at the door is not a good place to talk about business, right?" Gao Yuan smiled.

Wu Kai thought for a moment, then turned around and walked back, "Okay, just listen to what you want to say."

"Sir, first tell me if there is a market for this wine? Will it sell well?" Gao Yuan asked.

"It goes without saying that I, Wu, are in this business. If there is no future, I am willing to spend 5,000 yuan to buy this recipe? In my experience, let alone in Fufeng, it is in the whole of Western Liaoning County. Even the entire Yan Kingdom, this is the first one." Wu Kai said unabashedly.

"Okay, the lord really knows the goods. If so, do you want to sell this wine only in Fufeng County? Don't you want to go out? Don't you want the entire Liaoxi County to sell your wine? Even the entire Yan Kingdom or even more Big place?" Gao Yuan's voice was full of temptation.

"It's a lie to say that you don't want to, but this business is controlled everywhere. How can it be so easy to enter someone else's territory?" Wu Kai shook his head.

"This is my other ten percent of the way to go." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Master Wu, should you think about it now?"

Wu Kai stared at Gao Yuan, his mind turned for a while, and suddenly he slapped the table heavily, "I understand, I understand, you are talking about the prefect."

"Your Excellency is indeed a smart person!" Gao Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Since this business has a lot of money to make, of course, the bigger the land that can be sold, the better. How much money can you make in Fufeng County alone? Master Wu, uncle and If the prefect can get in touch, let’s bring in the prefect. With the prefect’s shares, this is the prefect’s business. The more you sell, the more the prefect will earn. Think about it, the prefect can come for us. the wine to contribute?"

"Good idea!" Wu Kai shouted at the table, causing Lu Chao and Wu County magistrate's personal accomplices who were standing at the door to peep into one of their heads to see what happened.

"The prefect has 3,000 soldiers, but the court has not paid the prefect for many years. The prefect is really poor. The more wine you sell, the more the prefect earns. Not to mention Liaoxi County, you sell wine all over the country. In the State of Yan, the prefect is willing to come, and with the prefect as a backer, we can all make a foray in the State of Yan."

"If you pull in the prefect, it will be no problem in Liaoxi County, but if you want to extend into the entire Yan Kingdom, it will be difficult."

"Why did Mr. Wu forget that we have the prefect as a backer, and the prefect has no backstage in Jicheng? But at that time, will Mr. Wu be willing to take out some more shares?" Gao Yuan smiled authentically.

Wu Kai was a little shivering with excitement, "If I can really sell it all over the whole country of Yan, of course I am willing to give a few percent of the shares to the people behind the prefect."

"Sir, in that case, are you willing to take out 20% of the shares?" Gao Yuan laughed.

"Of course I do, but I don't want to be a fool." Wu Kai laughed and turned to look at Lu Hong, "Old Lu, you have a good nephew."

Lu Hong looked at Wu Kai, and then at Gao Yuan, and he was inexplicably shocked. He never thought that Wu Kai would actually agree, and he actually agreed to take 20% of the shares in exchange for this recipe?

"Laolu, it's a pleasure to work together. From now on, Fufeng County will be the world of the two of us. Huo Zhu, let him go to hell!" Wu Kai laughed and said: "Why Laolu, still reluctant to bring out good wine and meat to celebrate. Gao Yuan, how about we talk about this recipe while drinking?"

"Of course no problem!" Lu Hong finally reacted and shouted: "Lu Bin, Lu Bin, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare some good dishes immediately, and I want to have a few drinks with Master Wu."

"Yes, have a good drink. I'm also just trying to hear what Nephew Gao has to say about this wine."

While preparing the food and drinks, Gao Yuan had already prepared the ink and ink, and the magistrate of Wu was also very happy. With a swipe of the pen, several contracts were immediately drawn up. There were six contracts in total, one for Lu Hong, one for Gao Yuan, and the prefect of Liaoxi County. Zhang Shou made one copy, Lu Hong and Gao Yuan signed their names with a pen, Wu Kai signed his name on the six copies, and then handed the two copies of the prefect Zhang Shou to Lu Hong," Lao Lu said. , these two copies, I have to trouble you to discuss with the prefect, only these two copies are valid, and ours are valid, how?"

"No problem!" Lu Hong said with a smile: "During the New Year, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to the prefect, and I just happened to talk to him about it."

"Master Wu, let's start this business first, and when my uncle goes to pay New Year's greetings, we will send the dividends for the past few months to the prefect. With real money, the prefect will be very happy when he agrees. More." Gao Yuan suggested.

"Okay, nephew Gao has a good idea. It's not as convincing as real money and silver. Let's get the business started right away. Nephew Gao, what's the way?"

"Tomorrow, Master Wu will send the master to my house, and I will teach him, this kind of thing, of course, is not passed on, how can it be written on paper, if it is stolen, won't we be busy all the time? "Gao Yuan smiled.

Wu Kai put his palms together, "nephew Gao's words won my heart, won my heart, tomorrow morning, the master of my family will come to ask for advice." He held Gao Yuan's hand, not to mention smiling How happy.
